Get involved

There are a number of ways that you can get involved. One of the most important ways is to send in your wildlife sightings to TWIC. These can range from ad hoc records to dedicated monitoring work over a number of survey seasons. The beauty about recording is anyone can contribute and there is something for all levels of experience. Click here to see what you can do to help us.


Have you seen a Hedgehog?

Research shows that numbers of hedgehogs have declined by up to 25% - is this true locally? We have very limited data on hedgehogs in Lothians and the Borders and TWIC would like to get a clearer picture of where there are hedgehogs. We want you to tell us every time you see a hedgehog (even the dead ones at the side of the road). Find out how to send us your records, submit them online or learn more about hedgehogs on our Hedgehog Survey page.
